A collection of voices gathered from the world of the lesser represented & marginalized populations in media or media preservation. These voices belong to women, queer folx, the trans community and people of color. These are indigenous voices and the voices of the differently abled. These voices are those that need to be heard because they haven’t been.
Archivist’s Alley is a safe & lively conversational space designed for discussions on how to preserve our work and identities in today's professional landscapes. Who we are, what we do, and what and how we love!

6.4: Christina Ward: Punk Rock Publishing, Outsider Literature & the Secret Revolutionary History of Food
I love Christina Ward. And I love the work she does.
I am lucky enough to know some really brilliant and wonderful women. Christina? She is absolutely top shelf.
As an author, she does outrageously cool writing on food and food history. Canning and food preservation? She's got you. The relationship between food, cults and class? Read her work. It will blow your mind.
Christina also has another gig: she is one of the primary folks at a publishing company known as Feral House. Around since 1989, FH has certainly courted controversy, being one of the very first publishers to release texts on such taboo subjects as black metal, punk, death culture, conspiracies and cults. But FH does not center itself on shock; it works on examining outsider perspectives and the work that Christina and the team there do is vital to our thorough understanding of the world.
I invite you to listen to my conversation with Christina Ward in which we discuss all these things and more. The books and writing that they platform place them solidly against misogyny, colonialism, capitalism and classism, making them an incredibly valuable publisher in this day and age. -

We talk about everything from Hugh Hefner's preservation work & the non-existence of "cancel culture" to considering the rise of both Asian representation in media and anti-Asian hate crimes.
